In less-than-shocking news, Cleveland Cavaliers star Kyrie Irving has been selected to be the cover athlete for EA Sports’ return to basketball after several years, NBA Live 14.
The announcement was hardly a surprise, since Irving demoed the new Ignite engine at Electronic Arts’ pre-E3 press briefing back in June.
EA Sports has had a troubled history with basketball games - the last b-ball game the publisher released was NBA Live 10 back in 2009. Since then, one game, NBA Elite 11, was released and immediately recalled.
